The Law Library Computer Labs are available for use by all students of the Louis D. Brandeis School of Law. In order to keep the labs functioning smoothly, everyone must abide by the following rules. Please remember to show consideration to others using the computer labs by keeping conversation to a minimum and not viewing Web pages or images that may be offensive to others. Those who violate the policies below may be subject to loss of computer lab privileges.

User Accounts

1. Do not allow anyone, including family members, to use your user name and password to log on to the lab computers. If a non-law student needs to use a computer, he or she may use one of the public access computers in the Law Library Reading Room.
2. You must log off the computers when you are done using them.

Computer Maintenance

1. Students are not permitted to download or install any programs or services, including but not limited to Napster, iTunes, AOL Instant Messenger, etc., on School of Law computers or their network storage space (Z:\ drive).
2. Put your name on any portable storage media (e.g., floppy or compact disks, USB drives) you use.
3. If you get any on-screen messages about viruses or spyware, immediately inform a law school IT staff member or, if working in a Law Library lab, someone at the Circulation Desk. Some may be legitimate, some may be illegitimate Web browser pop-up ads, but it is always wise to err on the side of caution.
4. Most computer viruses are spread through electronic mail. Minimize the threat posed by viruses by being careful about e-mail attachments you open.
5. Students are permitted to store up to 10 megabytes (MB) of data on their Z:\ drives. Students who store more than that will be required to delete data until its cumulative size is 10 MB or less.
